Shut Up and Drive

Rihanna

I've been looking for a driver who is qualified
So if you think that you're the one step into my ride
I'm a fine-tuned supersonic speed machine
With a sunroof top and a gangster lean

So if you feel me, let me know, know, know
Come on now, what you waiting for, for, for?
My engine's ready to explode, explode, explode
So start me up and watch me go, go, go, go

Get you where you wanna go, if you know what I mean
Got a ride that's smoother than a limousine
Can you handle the curves? Can you run all the lights?
If you can, baby boy, then we can go all night
'Cause I'm zero to sixty in 3.5
Baby, you got the keys
Now shut up and drive, drive, drive (drive)
Shut up and drive, drive, drive (drive)

I got class like a '57 Cadillac
Got overdrive with a whole lot of boom in the back
You look like you can handle what's under my hood
You keep saying that you will, boy, I wish you would

So if you feel me, let me know, know, know
Come on now, what you waiting for, for, for?
My engine's ready to explode, explode, explode
So start me up and watch me go, go, go, go

Get you where you wanna go, if you know what I mean
Got a ride that's smoother than a limousine
Can you handle the curves? Can you run all the lights?
If you can, baby boy, then we can go all night
'Cause I'm zero to sixty in 3.5
Baby, you got the keys
Now shut up and drive, drive, drive (drive)
Shut up and drive, drive, drive (drive)

'Cause your Maybach ain't got what I got
Get it, get it, don't stop, it's a sure shot
And your Ferrari, huh, boy, I'm sorry
I ain't even worried, so step inside
And ride, ride, ride, ride
Ride, ride, ride, ride
Ride, ride, ride, ride
Ride, ride, ride, ride
Ride, ride, ride, ride

So if you feel me, let me know, know, know
Come on now, what you waiting for, for, for?
My engine's ready to explode, explode, explode
So start me up and watch me go, go, go, go

Get you where you wanna go, if you know what I mean
Got a ride that's smoother than a limousine
Can you handle the curves? Can you run all the lights?
If you can, baby boy then we can go all night
'Cause I'm zero to sixty in 3.5
Baby, you got the keys
Now shut up and drive, drive, drive (drive)
Shut up and drive, drive, drive (drive)
Shut up and drive, drive, drive (drive)
Shut up and drive, drive, drive (drive)
Drive, drive, drive, drive
Drive, drive, drive, drive
Drive, drive, drive, drive

    General Commenthmm... this song seems to be completely based on sex. You'd think it was actually about driving cars lol

    General Commenthaha who cares if they are stolen, they sound good and thats all that matters. But back to the song. I really like this song. At first i was like.. hmm maybe not. But now that ive listened to it a few times, its actually pretty good. As for the meaning.... Lol she's just tempting a guy to like, hang with her.. or something.. haha too hard to explain... anyway, tis a good song :P

    General CommentI like the part where she's like "get it get it don't stop" 'cause it's a kind of a shout out to a similar part in the rap of "Feel Good Inc" by the Gorillaz.

    It's very catchy and what I like about is that it's not an outright sex offering but a metaphor. It would be cheap if the song was more obvious in its meaning...like outright saying, I'm hot, fuck me fuck me, but it's a metaphor. Like that Led Zeppelin song. It's hot.

    And she's hot enough to pull it off :)

    General CommentThis song is talking about one thing and meaning another. If you were young, you might think she was just talking about cars but we all know she is talking about sex. At least she is using metaphors. This song is catchy too. I can't get it out of my head and I usually don't listen to this kind of stuff.

    General CommentThe music of this song is a direct rip-off of "Blue Monday" by Orgy.
